Can you get through the "arm scene" without flinching?

Even the goriest horror movies never seem to phase me, but this scene gets to me. The bone snapping, the nerve cutting, the blood loss and his pale face. It makes me feel queasy every time. I think what makes it even worse, is the fact that he's inflicting this pain upon himself. Can you imagine? >_<

Ugh, just thinking about it is making my skin crawl...

Yeah same here. It would probably have to be the hardest scene I've ever had to watch, or at least top 3. It was so realistic. Franco's acting is mainly the reason it was so effective too. You can feel his pain just by seeing his reactions to it, and seeing his face go from pale to ghostly.

I'm alright with the whole thing except for that damn nerve cutting part!! I swear I clutch my arm every time that comes up.
